| Description: | To deliver a four Boat Dreadnought SSBN Class within the approved performance, cost and time parameters, and contribute to the sustainment of the UK submarine design and manufacturing capability for Dreadnought and beyond. The scope of the programme covers the design, development and manufacture of four Dreadnought SSBN Class submarines, and other costs related to bringing this capability on line, in response to the requirement detailed in the Government White Paper 2006: The Future of the UK's Nuclear Deterrent. The requirement for a class of SSBNs (Dreadnought) to replace the current Vanguard Class was re-endorsed in SDSR 15 and in the 2021 Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy. |
| DCA (RAG) | Amber |
| DCA text: | Compared to financial year 19/20-Q2, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors: The Dreadnought submarine programme remains on track for the First of Class, HMS Dreadnought, to enter service in the early 2030s. Staged investments have delivered good progress on the whole boat design, production and supporting infrastructure development. The impact of COVID-19 on Industry Partners, and across the whole supply chain has been proactively managed, aided by improving collaboration and the cultural change being embedded through the new Target Operating Model. Initiatives to improve schedule performance and cost control are in progress. |

This is primarily due to the following factors: The understanding of the Dreadnought design has matured and the latest cost estimates include a robust and detailed programme scope which, alongside investment in forecasting and cost assurance, has added significantly to the confidence in the projected costs. The programme continues to forecast to come within the £31Bn + £10Bn contingency budget set in 2015, a position validated by independent cost estimation. |
